    When I edit something, I make it separate from the main entry. Not sure when I picked that habit up, but there you go. Does the entry say “edited” on it, or does it look like a normal message? It shows as “edited” on my side.

      No, it doesn’t show “edited” on our end. From what I can tell, the only way for other users to see the edit is to type out the edit and explanation as you did in your previous comment

        Edits are indicated by a pencil icon (or asterisk plus a parentheses with the edit timestamp if you’re using old.lemmy) next to the username. The pencil icon timestamp only shows the edited timestamp unless you mouseover it.

          I’m on Connect on mobile and the pencil icon or asterisk/timestamp don’t show. It’s cool that they do on desktop, though

            Ah interesting. Various marks for edits show up in most clients I’ve tried (sync, jerboa, thunder)
